Book Description
Though she was freed from prison, a new danger awaits…. For months she suffered in Shanghai Prison Number 14. When Mei Lin was released and returned to her life in the rural village of Tanching, she should have been content. She lived at home with her father and grandmother, working in the rice fields and sharing the gospel alongside Liko, her fianc. But when a friend invites her to help in an orphanage for the summer, Mei Lin knows that God has given her both the desire and the opportunity to serve him in a new way. Liko, though, fears Mei Lin’s return to Shanghai so soon after her incarceration and so soon after his own father died for his faith. But while Mei Lin is away, it is Liko who ends up facing the greater danger, in a form no one expected.... In this sequel to Daughter of China, author C. Hope Flinchbaugh again opens a window on the shocking struggles and inspiring faith of Christians in the Chinese church.

 | The STRUGGLES OF PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS IN CHINA Mar 6, 2007 |
In this sequel to her novel, Daughter of China (Christy-award finalist), author C. Hope Flinchbaugh takes readers on another journey into the struggles of the underground Christian church in China.
The main character, Mei Lin, returns home to her rural village after months of difficulty imprisoned in Shanghai. Yet her time at home on her father's farm is brief, and she soon says good-bye to her family and fiancé Liko so she can accept an opportunity to teach at a Christian-run orphanage in Shanghai.
While she's gone, Liko responds to an invitation to further his Christian education at the Haggai Institute in Singapore. He discovers too late that a religious cult masterminded this scheme to kidnap the best and brightest pastors of China.
Based on a true story, Flinchbaugh's poignant portrayal of persecuted Christians opened my eyes to a new area of the world. As the daughter of a missionary to the Chinese, this author has a calling to enlighten the world about the Christian movement in China.
This novel is so gripping, I couldn't put it down. Like never before, I'm praying for the heroic courage of my brothers and sisters in China.

If you want to read a cozy book, this one isn't for you. The second book in a series, Across the China Sky divulges information that just now is hitting the front pages of American newspapers (Washington Post, for example, just ran a front-page story on the neglected Chinese orphans.) This book is gripping from the first chapter. The author's account makes you wonder if she lived it through it herself. Anybody would benefit from reading this - from the account of the childrens' plights to the wicked cultic schemes - it is truly a book that won't leave you the same person you were when you started out. As American businesses move toward China, we must also be aware of the other facets that make up this complex country. Human rights violations should not be ignored for the sake of lining a few billionaires' pockets, and with the Olympics coming up in 2008, this is the perfect time to be aware of what's going on in China and do something about it. Kudos to C. Hope Flinchbaugh for taking a stand and telling these stories. It's a book I couldn't get enough of and sad to see end. The acounts of the mental and physical torture are brutal, so be forewarned, this is not a comfortable story. But it will be time well-spent.
Publisher's Weekly completely missed the point of the book in their "review". And as far as their confusion over narrative, I can only wonder if that reviewer had had one too many. And disappointing, this book is not.
Like sipping a fine wine, you can't jump into this book expecting it to come out the way you would like it. Hold on for the ride and judge for yourself. | | | Write your own review about Across the China Sky
